When it comes to recycling, make it a family affair. Almost everything is recyclable...glass, plastic, aluminum, newspaper and even tires for our cars. With recycling, rechargeable batteries are recyclable too (figure A). Most Americans use six products powered by rechargeable batteries every day, and while these can be charged up to 1,000 times, eventually they will need to be replaced. This includes batteries for your cellular phones, laptops, digital cameras and cordless power tools. When it's time to recycle your batteries, simply go online (figure B) and find a website that will direct you to the nearest recycling center. By recycling your rechargeable batteries (figure C), you're doing your part to preserve our natural resources for generations to come. Web Extra: - The rechargeable batteries that power your cordless products are recyclable once they no longer hold a charge. Rechargeable batteries are commonly found in cordless power tools (screwdriver, power nailer, drill, wood saws, metal cutters, rotary hammers and hammer drills), cellular and cordless phones, laptop computers, digital cameras, two-way radios, camcorders and remote control toys.
- More than 325 manufacturers support the rechargeable battery recycling program by placing recycling seals on rechargeable batteries and portable electronic products. This seal lets you know that the battery can be recycled.
